Mackreynolds the man who was
arrested a short time ago charged
with setting fire to Phil. Albright's
barn. was found murdered in his
corn field about five miles south of
Green City, Tuesday morning
with a rifle shot in his body and
the top of his head blown off with a
shot gun. From indications, he
had been cutting corn when his
assassins slipped upon him and
accomplished this worst of crimes.
He was supposed to have been
murdered Monday morning about
IL o'clock as there were shots
heard in that direction about this
time of day 1t is also reported that
two persons were seen not far from
where Mackreynolds was found
armed with a shot gun and rife
and suspicion falls on them as be-
ing the guilty parties.-Greencas-

There has been for some little
time past talk among Rock Island
people about line from this city
to Quincy. The rout is proposed
from st. Joseph to Trenton over
the Rock Island, and from Trenton
to Quincy over the Q, NJ. & P. line,
the Rock Island to lease running
rights over that road and con-
cection to be made between the
two at Trenton. This would give
short line across the state in
competition with the Hannibal &
st. Joseph, a connection to be
formed at Quincy with the Wa
bash. 1t is also suggested that the
Rock Island, if it gets to Quincy,
would build into st. Louis.-St.

A Telling Argument.

Here is rather telling arert.
ment in favor of prohibition. Ii
comes from the inmates of tb q
Nashville, Tennessee state prison,
who, 400 in number. have on thei r
own motion signed an appeal TO
the people of Tennessee to favor r
the adoption of the proposed pro
hlbitory amendment. They con
clude by saying:
wearing the garb of disgrace,
being dishonored and counted un-
worthy to mingle with the people
OF our state, We yet have the same
love for our wives, the same devo-
ton to our mothers, the same affec-
tion for our sisters, and for their
sake, and for the sake of our chill
dren, we appeal to you to unite as
one man and free the state from a
curse created by the hands of men.
and discountenanced by the law Of ,
God.

An exchange thus cautions its
readers against certain danger.
Take care how you let any machine
oil or lubricator come in conta
with a cut or a scratch on your
hand or arm, as serious blood
poisoning may result. In the
manufacture of some of these ma
chine oils fat from diseased and
decom2osed animals is used. All
physicians know how poisonous
such matter is The only safe
guard is not to let any spot where
the skin is broken be touched by
any machine oil or lubricator.

"AMERIcA FOR AMERICANS

IDe press Oh the country regard
less of politics has pretty general
ly commended Grand Master
Powderly for his liberality, fair
dealing and executive capacity in
dealing with the difficult problems
| that have arisen between work
men and employers. Last week
we published the platform of the
new American party, and the pub
lie will be surprised to know that
Mr.. Powderly who has been so
calm and conservative and has
shown such excellent judgement
in dealing with the most perplex-
ing questions, would allow
himself to become the head of a
party that starts out to emphasize
the sentiment. America for
Americans" 1t is the old Know
Nothing party over again. And
the spirit of Know-Nothingism
prevalent in republic would
haunt that republic to its ruin.
The new party demands q restric-.
tion of migration, revision of
the naturalization laws, md the
reserving of American land for
American citizens. only. One of
the plans to cut down migration
is, to levy a tax of $500 upon
every person who comes to the
United States; and he must also
bring a certificate of good charac-
ter from his former home. If he
passes he must live in this coun-
try twenty one years before he is
allowed to vote. While this party
starts out with the principle
america for Americans, :"
it will probably receive its,
greatest strength from those
who were born on foreign
soil, and ye. not of that element
which has done SO much to devel-
op our country and to-day co1n-
pose its best citizens, but that ell
ement, which has been most deaf
to reason in the settlement of dis
putes between labor and capital.
Cut o ut the Objectionable feat
ures of the platform of the new
party and we have the good en-
bodied in the principles of the great
party that has not only preserved
the nation, but has also made it
one of the grandest among the
nations of the earth. america
for Americans is insolence and
stupidity. The working, thinking,
intelligent voters of this country,
and we are proud that we have
that kind by large majority, con-
slider every man entitled to citi-
zenship in the United States, who
will obey the laws and pay his
taxes.

The Gettysburg Panorama.

The removal of the great
panoramic picture of the Battle of
Missionary Ridge recalls the time
when these gigantic representa-
tions Of the greatest events in
American history were first in
troduced in our midst, "Gettys-
burg" has outlived missionary
Ridge" and bids fair to become a
perennial institution in Chicago.
Hardly'a week passes that does
not bring hundreds Of old COM
batants, Federal and Con-
federate, to look once more upon
the crucial field Of the mighty
struggle, and to live DER again
the hopeful, anxious, fateful day.
The first sensation of the visitor
to this extraordinary exhibition is
one that does not lose any of its
freshness upon a subsequent in
spection. Although aware, before
entering, that he is looking at a
building of 1874 feet in diameter
and 96 feet high, he finds himself,
after ascending the little narrow
stairs, in an open country stretch
ing many miles in every direction
toward the horizon. 1t is impossi-
BILE to break the illusion involved
in so splendid triumph of per-
spective drawing. Then the
accuracy of the landscape in every
detail is such as to call forth the
special plaudits of the Pensyl-
vanians, one of whom exclaimed
the other day, "My God! Look at
our blue mountains" The scenes
of valor,sof destruction, of carnage
and Of death upon which tire
spectator looks down seems never
to lose their dreadful interest.
The real ground-with a gun here,
a broken ammunition wagon there,
and cavalry trumpet in the ditch
the real snake fence and the
real stone walls are so skillfully
continued into the canvas that on
slightly lifting his head one can
hear the last agonizing cry of the
rebel General Armistead as he
falls in the moment of temporary
victory. On come the contending
hosts, despite the terrific gaps
made in them by the enemy's ar
tillery. Riderless steeds, be-
wildered, fly they know not where;
dead and dying strew the field;
innumerable instances of indi-
vidual heroism fill the on-looker
with admiration. AS a whole and
in every detail, the work is SO un-
exceptionable that upon retiring
from the bloody field old heroes
feel that they have "fought their
battles DER again. Chicago
